Re: Film

After the experience with the last journo that was approved I wouldn't bother with this. She did the usual thing of asking a couple of 'I'm really interested' questions before giving her game away and asking the usual rubbish about knives etc. Funny, she hasn't posted once since she was roundly cond...

Re: EDC for a hightened security area?

First aid kit. Foil blanket. Swiss Army Knife. Water. Tactical pen (for breaking glass in the event of an accident). All legal but never underestimate the ability of the cops to prey on joe public's ignorance of the law. The reason so many know your rights type cards etc are given out at protests is...

Having been brought up in the south west I always assumed that Plymouth and surrounding areas would cop it big time because of the naval base and other military sites in the vicinity.

Re: Nuclear war survival skills

I think it's pretty impossible to know how exactly you'd react in such circumstances. We can sit here now and say life won't be worth living but it's amazing how much the human survival instinct kicks in under the most seemingly hopeless of circumstances.

Re: Nuclear war survival skills

I read a book a few months ago called 'A Slow Death - 83 days of radiation sickness' it followed a very unfortunate chap called Hisashi Ouchi who was exposed to one of the highest known doses of radiation in the Tokaimura nuclear incident, that was way before Fukishima.

Re: Nuclear war survival skills

I can see where people are coming from in terms of 'I'd run for the mushroom cloud' in terms of nuclear warfare. I recently saw a medical report and photos of two scientists who died during the Manhattan Project and it ain't pretty.
